Renesmee, but Edward injects Bella with his venom to save her
life and turns her into a vampire. A vampire from another coven
sees Renesmee and mistakes her for an "immortal child". She

confrontation, the Cullen's and their witnesses convince the
Volturi that the child poses no danger to vampires or their secret,
and they are left in peace by the Volturi.
